After hearing this, Guo Yuanzhen couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I have led the army for decades, but I am not as good as the king of Lantian who knows the soldiers, I am really ashamed, I lost in the hands of the king of Lantian, Guo was convinced." Lantian Wang, take care, Guo has taken his leave. ”

Li Tao opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say anything, and looked at Guo Yuanzhen's staggering back, and couldn't help sighing.

Li Longji's face was still ugly, and Wang Maozhong, who accompanied him, said to Li Longji: "Your Majesty, now that the military is not in order, the person in charge of the arrangement of the military parade etiquette cannot escape the blame and must be severely punished." ”

Li Longji was angry, and asked without thinking, "Who is responsible for this etiquette arrangement?" ”

"Tang Shao, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites!" Wang Mao Zhong said.

Li Longji said hatefully: "Tang Shao, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, is not strict in the military etiquette, serious dereliction of duty, and he should be beheaded for his crimes, and he will be punished immediately." ”

Wang Maozhong glanced at Li Miao, the general of Jinwu on the right, and Li Miao understood, and turned away as promised.

Li Tao glanced at Wang Maozhong, and then said to Li Longji: "Your Majesty, in fact, this matter has nothing to do with anyone, it has been a long time of evil, and Tang Shao should not be blamed." Since His Majesty has spared Guo Yuanzhen from the death penalty, why bother to kill Tang Shao again? ”

Li Longji pondered for a moment and said to Gao Lishi: "Send someone to deliver the decree to remove Tang Shao from the death penalty and reduce him to the people." ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! Colliers hurried away.

After a while, Gao Lishi came in a hurry, and he hesitated and didn't know how to report to Li Longji.

"What's wrong?" Li Longji asked.

"Your Majesty, Don has been beheaded!" Colliers period Ai Ai Dao.

Li Longji was also taken aback when he heard it: "What? So fast? This is the kung fu of the front and rear feet, and he is decapitated? ”

Li Tao listened. With an angry look on his face, he walked up to Wang Maozhong: "Huo Guogong! ”

Wang Maozhong was awarded the title of General Zuo Wuwei by Li Longji because he followed Li Longji earlier. Enter the seal of Huo Guogong, and add the three divisions of Fuyi. Every time Li Longji set up a banquet, Wang Maozhong sat in front of the royal palace with the kings and Jiang Jiao, because he won Li Longji's trust, Wang Maozhong didn't put anyone in his eyes, not only Gao Lishi and Yang Siqiao were afraid of him, but even the prime minister Liu Youqiu wanted to let him score three points.

Wang Maozhong was bought by Li Tao from the human market back then. took off his lowly status, and later gave him to Li Longji together with Li Yide, and he has what he is today. Other words. Li Tao was kind to him, so he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Li Tao.

Wang Maozhong saw Li Tao shouting to himself, and hurriedly responded: "King Lantian, Mao Zhong is here!" ”

"Right Jinwu General Li Miao is your man, right?" Li Tao asked.

"Yes! Lantian King! ”

"I heard that you and Tang Shao, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, have a gap?" Li Tao asked again.

"Lantian King has absolutely no such thing!" Wang Maozhong hurriedly argued.

"This year's Shangyuan Festival. Tang Shao drank with people. After drinking, he said that you were born as a slave, and sneered a few words. Later, the word came to your ears. You are furious and say that one day you will let him die at your own hands, but is there such a thing? ”

Wang Maozhong was about to explain, but Li Tao unceremoniously stretched out his hand to interrupt him: "Your Majesty has great ambitions, and you, as a person close to Your Majesty, must do your best to assist Your Majesty." Don't have too many selfish thoughts! If you do this kind of dirty thing again, don't blame me for being rude to you! ”

Wang Maozhong's face turned pale. It can be seen that Li Tao is still staring at himself, so he has to bow his head and say: "The teachings of King Lantian are kept in mind by Mao Zhong. ”

Everyone saw that the invincible Wang Maozhong was deflated in front of Li Tao, and they all felt happy in their hearts. At the moment when Li Tao turned around, Wang Maozhong's eyes showed a resentful gaze. Wang Maozhong's fleeting gaze was captured by Gao Lishi on the side, he knew that Wang Maozhong was extremely narrow-minded, and he was bound to repay, and looked at Li Tao with some concern, but Li Tao was unaware.

Li Longji listened to Li Tao's words, and also understood in his heart that he was being used by Wang Maozhong, although he was annoyed in his heart, but it was inconvenient in front of everyone, so he had to hate and say: "Remiss Li Miao as the right general of Jinwu, expel him from Chang'an, and he will not be hired for life." ”

After a while, Li Longji asked Li Tao, "Tao'er, what's next?" ”

Li Tao said: "Since the matter has come to this point, Your Majesty will quickly inform the whole army of the handling of Guo Yuanzhen and Tang Shao, so that the generals will be vigilant in their hearts, and in the future, they will train the army diligently and strive to improve the combat effectiveness of the Tang army." ”

Li Longji nodded and said, "Immediately send light cavalry to report to the whole army." ”

As the horses galloped out, the envoys shouted to inform the armies. The armies were in an uproar, and the formations immediately dispersed again.

Li Tao pointed to the army and said: "Your Majesty, just to report an unexpected news, that's it, if there is really an enemy army to attack, what will be the situation, you can imagine." ”

Li Longji didn't seem to hear it, pointed to two places, and said to Li Tao: "Tao'er, look! ”

Li Tao looked around, and sure enough, there were two military camps in a neat formation and standing still. He nodded and said: "The commanders of these two armies are good, and the fact that the army can deal with it without chaos shows that the military discipline is strict, and this is not a day's work." ”

Li Longji nodded and said: "It seems that today's military parade is not for nothing, which can be regarded as a big gain." ”

"Lux, you yourself take the light cavalry to find out who the commanders of these two armies are, and summon them to come to meet them."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Colliers took the order and left.

Li Tao shook his head and smiled without saying a word.

Seeing Li Tao like this, Li Longji couldn't help but wonder: "Tao'er, what do you think?" ”

Li Tao said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid the wrestlers are going to hit a wall." ”

"What do you mean?" Li Longji was puzzled.

"Your Majesty, there are rules in the army. If these two people were really strict in governing the army, they would never let people into the barracks at will. If His Majesty really wants to see the two of them, he must send someone with the holy decree and the tiger talisman before entering the barracks to summon the chief general. Of course, all the armies knew that this was a military parade in Lishan, not a real war, and it is still clear whether they could really do it. ”

"Oh?" After hearing this, Li Longji said with interest: "This is really worth looking forward to." Tao'er, or we wait for the news of Lux and wait and see. ”

"Obey the Divine Commandment!" Li Tao promised.

About half an hour later, Colliers returned.

Li Longji asked impatiently, "How is it?" ”

"Your Majesty, it has been investigated clearly, the two armies are Xue Ne's Yulin Army and Xie Wan's Ten Thousand Cavalry." Gao Lishi said with an angry face: "But the slave can't say anything, he can't enter the barracks of these two armies at all, let alone see the main general." ”

When Li Longji heard this, he laughed, not to mention how happy he was.

Li Tao suddenly realized when he heard this, and said to himself: "It turned out to be the two of them, no wonder!" ”

Of course, Li Longji knew the meaning of Li Tao's words, and he gave Li Tao a thumbs up: "Tao'er, you have only been the general of the auxiliary country for one year, and you can train such a strong army, it's really rare!" ”

Li Tao shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, to be honest, I only stayed in the barracks for the first three months, and the rest of the time Xue Ne and Xie Wan were leading the army, which is the credit of the two of them!" ”

"Let's go, Tao'er, we don't need any holy decree tiger talismans, let's go and meet these two generals in person......"
